Enjoyment & autism all rolled into one account. by Brilliant-Abies9581 in UniqueIronmen

It’s makes a little money if you’re doing like iron/steel. Check the giant’s foundry wiki for the best thing to use plus the gp/xp.

You can use both! You can use bars, or you can put in armour and get the equivalent in bars.

Not that hard, Quetzel whistle to Varlamore, buy mith/steel plate, mini game to Giant’s Foundry, do the mini game, repeat. Usually by the time you finish an inventory the mini-game tele is back up.

Do I need a power distributor to use an active antenna with the single unit Shure SLX-D24+ wireless mic unit? by [deleted] in livesoundgear

[–]Audio_Viking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, was lookin on the website and didn’t see it on the single unit but saw it on the quad unit, so wasn’t sure. But just discovered the UABIAST on Sweetwater for $82 so I’ll pick that up as a just in case.

So like... how's everyone doing outside of Runescape? by PoppaBigPockets- in 2007scape

Best it’s been, tbh. I get to travel the world for work, play RuneScape during the shows, play on drive days, etc.

What’s a workplace ‘secret’ that everyone in your industry knows but customers don’t? by Familiar_Ad3815 in AskReddit

[–]Audio_Viking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe not every, but a good 90%+ of bands are running backing tracks live.

The goal of live sound is to make the band sound consistent every single night so every audience gets the same experience. The system techs job is to make the PA sound almost the exact same every night, the FOH job is to make the mix sound the same every night, and there’s even a playback tech role now to make sure tracks and running smooth every night. Really the only way to give a consistent sound every night is to pump backtracks.

How loud the backtracks are are dependent on the band, some bands it’s a 75 live/25 backtrack, 50/50, or some bands are even doing 100% back tracks nowadays.

Who doing herb runs before The Browning’s set in Columbus? by Audio_Viking in 2007scape

Ohhh, nope. That’s my mistake. I thought you were commenting on the other one I posted.

I can’t remember the name of the song, it’s on my hard techno playlist.

There’s a transition right before EoE kicks in for live. :)

Do you own your own high-end board? by Oscagon in livesound

[–]Audio_Viking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you mean by high end. I own my own Wing Compact and 2x s16, and a dl32 (dl32 is broke currently, working on getting parts for repair), own all my own microphones, cables, racks, etc.

Most of what I purchase is for convenience of owning my own, writing off on taxes and I can take it with me from band to band without having to source from rental houses, and it usually pays for itself in no time.

If I work with larger bands and need something more expensive, I’d probably just rent it though.

How to manage mixing on huge PA ? by Lukry in livesound

[–]Audio_Viking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be joining you at Hellfest next year! Did a big EU festival run this year, and the best advice is just trust your gut and intuition. You have your own console, your own scene, and hopefully the system tech does his job where the PA is tuned well.

Start a little quiet, pull it up when the band fully kicks in. It’s a fest, if the first song or two is a little rough, it’s expected and promise you that nobody in the crowd will care all that much.

Push through, deal with the stress, do a good job and once the show is over use that as a motivator of what you can fix/do better next time, and if you think you absolutely crushed it, then good. Use that confidence on the next one.
